WikiCup 2013 January newsletter
Signups are now closed; we have our final 127 contestants for this year's competition. 64 contestants will make it to the next round at the end of February, but we're already seeing strong scoring compared to previous years. currently leads, with 358 points. At this stage in 2012, the leader had 342 points, while in 2011, the leader had 228 points. We also have a large number of scorers when compared with this stage in previous years. was the first competitor to score this year, as he was last year, with a detailed good article review. Some other firsts:
 * was also the first to score for an article, with the good article Hurricane Gordon (2000). Again, this is a repeat of last year!
 * was the first to score for a did you know, with Marquis Flowers.
 * was the first to score for an in the news, with 2013 Houphouët-Boigny stampede.
 * was the first to score for a featured list, with list of Billboard Social 50 number-one artists.
 * was the first to score for a featured picture, with File:Thure de Thulstrup - L. Prang and Co. - Battle of Gettysburg - Restoration by Adam Cuerden.jpg.

Featured articles, portals and topics, as well as good topics, are yet to feature in the competition.

This year, the bonus points system has been reworked, with bonus points on offer for old articles prepared for did you know, and "multiplier" points reworked to become more linear. For details, please see WikiCup/Scoring. There have been some teething problems as the bot has worked its way around the new system, but issues should mostly be ironed out- please report any problems to the WikiCup talk page. Here are some participants worthy of note with regards to the bonus points:


 * was the first to score bonus points, with Portland-class cruiser, a good article.
 * has the highest overall bonus points, as well as the highest scoring article, thanks to his work on Enrico Fermi, now a good article. The biography of such a significant figure to the history of science warrants nearly five times the normal score.
 * claimed bonus points for René Vautier and Nicolas de Fer, articles that did not exist on the English Wikipedia at the start of the year; a first for the WikiCup. The articles were eligible for bonus points because of fact they were both covered on a number of other Wikipedias.

Also, a quick mention of, who may well have already written the oddest article of the WikiCup this year: did you know that the Fucking mayor objected to Fucking Hell on the grounds that there was no Fucking brewery? The gauntlet has been thrown down; can anyone beat it?

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

 * Hah! I don't think so! — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  19:03, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Hey WP! If its not too much trouble, I was wondering if you could strike out your comments on Kareena Kapoor's FAC showing that they were addressed... something like this! It makes it a lot easier for me (as well as others) to see that the issues were sorted out. Thanks :) --  Bollywood Dreamz  talk 03:43, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

"Push the Button"
Hey Penguin, when you have time can you give the first section of the article another quick look at? I rewrote a large portion of it and think it's much better than what it was previously. Till 10:04, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I began to read it last night. There were tech problems, so I couldn't post anything. — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  20:26, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * That sucks. Hope to hear from you soon Till  23:10, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Hey are we soon going to go onto the other sections ? Till 04:33, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Okay thanks. It's 3 pm here lol Till  04:03, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Favour
Hello, I was wondering if you would be able to comment and/or cast a vote in support or opposition on my FAC Featured list candidates/List of songs recorded by Cheryl Cole/archive1, as only a couple of reviewers have posted comments and it has stalled in the last couple of weeks. Thank you. — AARON  &bull; TALK   19:20, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Aaron. I'm committed to too many reviews right now and probably won't be able to get to this one. Good luck nonetheless. — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  20:07, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

FAC

Cher PR
Hi! I'm so sorry for not being able to keep the Cher PR in the last days. I will reply to the "Music and voice" suggestions right now. I'd be happy if you could reply to these two questions I made last week. Cheers, Lordelliott (talk) 18:00, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * That's OK. I'll respond to your messages. — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  19:56, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Alright. Lordelliott (talk) 02:10, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Shoot I forgot! I'll go check right now. — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  02:11, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Just in case you forgot, I've already responded to your comments. Lordelliott (talk) 18:46, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Will take a look. Had some wiki stuff in the way, and I've come down with a mild fever, which has reduced my motivation today. But cheers, — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  20:16, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Absolutely no problem. Just wrote this because I was afraid you have forgotten. Hope you get better! Lordelliott (talk) 20:24, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks! — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  20:26, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello there. Did you get better? Lordelliott (talk) 03:42, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Better enough. I'll think about the paraphrasing right now. — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  11:46, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Replied. Lordelliott (talk) 19:43, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Again, Lordelliott (talk) 21:39, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

That's alright, I can totally relate to what you are saying. I plan to renominate the article as soon as we finish this PR. I'm not bothered at all since real life problems are always real life problems. I'll be waiting patiently. I'm longing to see our work being promoted as a FA. Cheers! Lordelliott (talk) 21:28, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi
Hey Penguin. How are you, it has been a while. Anyway, I am certain you saw I nominated "Cry Me a River" for FAC. Anyway, I am experiencing some trouble with the tasks given by about paraphrasing some quotes. Can you please try to add your magic touch to the prose. Thank You! :) — Tomíca (T2ME) 17:39, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Yep, sure. — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  17:40, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
 * OMG this was fast. Thanks buddy :) ! — Tomíca (T2ME) 17:41, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Rita Ora
Hello WP. How are you doing? Hope your exams went fine. :D Do you like this girl? I recently got into her discography. She really has some good songs. Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 17:47, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry to jump, but I am a stalker :P. I don't like her at all (don't want to say but I probably hate her). Don't see anything good at her. Why is Jay-Z actually bothering with her? — Tomíca (T2ME) 17:49, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Lol. Why do you hate her? She is so pretty and hot. :P Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 17:51, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
 * P.S Get into this bop. (It's perfect according to me :P) I am certain the Navy has strong contempt for her for various reasons. Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 17:52, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I do not find her attractive at all. I find her a copy-cat. And I can't stand this song. My only favorite song of hers is "Hot Right Now". And of course we don't like her ... duhh. Not to talk about her 2012 EMA performance. — Tomíca (T2ME) 17:55, 14 February 2013 (UTC)


 * They went generally well: eg. a 91, four 98s, a 99 and two 100s. I hadn't heard her tracks, but tried a sample ("R.I.P"). Too generic, IMO. Producers need to get more original nowadays. — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  17:56, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
 * BTW, what are both of your thoughts on Gotye's win at the Grammys? — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  17:57, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank God he won. He is an awesome artist. I was afraid that Carly Rae Jepsen will win for her awful song. — Tomíca (T2ME) 17:59, 14 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't like Gotye. His songs always get me like WTF. Sorry. What are your own thoughts WP? Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 18:03, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
 * How were your respective Valentine's Day? :P And Tom, when are you getting me that hot girl with the red lipstick? :D Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 18:09, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I didn't like him too much either. His song wasn't bad, but it was a little too slow-paced. You can't complain about his vocals though, and the effectiveness of the duet. But hey, at least it wasn't another Adele-dominated year. (She still won best live pop performance I think). I'm still happy "We Are Young" won Song of the Year. As for my Feb 14, well our school went to see our production of Les Misérables. That was nice. — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  18:11, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
 * He is better than the generic Ora xD. Btw, I am not in love so I will celebrate other holiday that is in our Orthodox calendar, it's the holiday of drinking [wine of course lol]... and of course Jivesh ;) !— Tomíca (T2ME) 18:13, 14 February 2013 (UTC)


 * WP, can we meet online to discuss BHG? Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 18:34, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Yep, I'm online. — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  18:35, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Lana Del Rey peer review
Hello, I have requested a peer review for Lana Del Rey's article. Since you are on the volunteers list I am asking you if you may peer review that article. Thanks, teammathi (talk) 08:52, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Teammathi. I'm unfortunately busy with a few other reviews right now, so I won't be able to satisfy your request. But I do hope that you get some valuable input. Thanks, Penguin. — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  11:59, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
